Tranny shopping List

[MrPoopyButthole]

Lets make this thread about a shopping list for those who want to keep the original tranny but rebuild it with some decent parts. Not a full out but a middle of the road type deal.

Links with cost would be great. I'll add to the first post as we go along.

[MrPoopyButthole]

Even on the standard rebuild high quality parts are a must.

He doesn't even recommend the standard build with boost though.

Keep that in mind.

Also skimmed through a tread on a bonnie forum where the guy did it himself. Cost him just over a grand in parts/tools and many hours.

The way I did it was to follow Andy's (BonnePro post doing yourself) info. Then I went the rest of the way for a full build.

Had Dave at TEP do the valve body/channel plate service ~$400
Got the Master kit ~$200
Got the seals (higher miles should do them) ~$?
Got Single 3.29's chain and gearset
Got the bushings and didn't need them
Got the stator bearing (you should always do this)
For my build I added an input shaft $450
Then I put in an HD converter, usually a new regular one is fine

My total ended up around $2200 You can easily get tha lower by getting the normal converter, skipping the chainset for V8 chains and not doing an input shaft

 

[MrPoopyButthole]

I would do just a rebuilt converter, looking for a used input shaft, already have HD Diff.

So you say v8 chain but they run 2.93s, will that work on a 3.29 set?

And valve body rebuild, what if you wanted to do this in a weekend?

 

[BillBoost37]

Used input..you know where to buy one.
The chains run any gear ratio. Total number of teeth between the two gears is 70. 2.93's 37/33, 3.29's 35/35 3.69's 33/37
In a weekend, pay the core charge, send yours back after the swap.

Doing this work in a weekend..daunting. Rebuilding over a week/weekend and swapping another weekend. Possible.

What parts do you need Dave? PM me or text me converter, input, etc I have it, including the V8 chains.
